Tomato Farming: Barabanki farmer Anand Maurya is earning one and a half to two lakh rupees every season by cultivating indigenous tomato varieties. Low cost, easy methods and continuous yield for 3–4 months have made tomato a profitable crop for farmers. The process from nursery to sale is simple.

In today’s time, vegetable cultivation is becoming a better source of profit for farmers. This is the reason why farmers are now moving away from traditional crops and adopting vegetable cultivation on a large scale. Among these, tomato is such a crop whose demand remains throughout the year. Once applied, it provides continuous yield for 3 to 4 months and also gives good profits at low cost.

Many varieties of tomatoes are available in the market, which give fruits for a long time. Generally its crop lasts for 4–5 months. Farmer Anand Maurya of Palhari village of Barabanki district is also cultivating tomatoes along with other vegetables. They are continuously getting good benefits from this. Presently he is cultivating tomatoes in more than half an acre area and earns a profit of Rs 1.5 to 2 lakh in a season.

Farmer Anand Maurya said that earlier he used to cultivate coarse grains, but now for the last few years he has been growing crops like banana, tomato, cabbage, brinjal and capsicum. According to him, the indigenous variety of tomato gives higher yields than other varieties. Its fruits are large in size and once planted, the crop continues to be harvested for several months. Plants just need a little extra care in winter.

The process of tomato cultivation is also simple. First of all the nursery is prepared. After this, the field is deeply plowed and cowdung manure, organic fertilizer and Jeevamrit are sprayed. Then the plants are planted at proper distance on the ridges and irrigation is done immediately. Harvesting of fruits starts approximately two months after planting, and farmers earn good income by selling them in the market every day.
